 The MoH SDP session can also be marked with a specific (custom) session level attribute.
 For that to enable see the `moh-attr-name` configuration option.
 
+In order to protect against double MoH played, e.g. when inadvertently two rtpengine instances

 List of parameters to be given when advertising MoH capabilities:
 
 - a sound source : `file`, `blob` or `db-id`.
